Answer:

PAROTID GLANDS.

Explanation:

This gland exits in pair in the mouth at the far either sides. Anterior to each ear. They are the largest in size among the salivary glands. They also produce saliva,together with enzyme amylase.

Inflammation and swelling of this gland in children is an infectious condition called Mumps.

Generally the salivary amylase enzyme produced breaks down carboyhdrate in the mouth.

It intiated starch digestion nby converting to maltose.

Answer:

Parotid glands

Explanation:

The parotid glands are also called exocrine glands. They produce  saliva to enable chewing and easy swallowing.

Salivary amylase enable the digestion of carbohydrates starting from the mouth. The salivary amylase produced, breaks down complex carbohydrates into smaller chains.

The following F2 phenotypic data was obtained from a Drosophila testcross using an F1 offspring. Assume red eye and brown body a
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The genotype of the F1 was wy+/w+y.

Explanation:

One of the given options has a typo: the red eye-brown body offspring count should be 56 instead of 561.

<u>We have two genes with two alleles each:</u>

Red eyes (w+) is dominant over white eyes (w).

Brown body (y+) is dominant over yellow body (y).

The phenotypes of the F2 tesulting from a test cross (F1 x wy/wy) are:

  • wy+/ey (white-eye, brown body): 670
  • w+y/wy (red-eye, yellow body): 650
  • wy/wy (white-eye, yellow body): 38
  • w+y+/wy (red-eye, brown body 56

If the genes w and y are linked, two phenotypes in the F2 will be much more abundant than the other two. Recombination during meiosis is a rare event, so the most abundant phenotypes are the parentals (the ones present in the F1 parent).

Every individual in the offpsring has a <em>wy</em> chromosome, as this was the gamete inherited from the test cross individual.

In this case, the most abundant gametes are wy+ and w+y, so the genotype of the F1 was wy+/w+y.

Notice how when recombination occurs in the F1 parent, the recombinant gametes appear: wy and w+y+, which are the less abundant in the F2 progeny.

Which of the following statements is correct?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The statement that is correct is that all cells have the same genes, but different genes are active in different cells.

Explanation:

Differentiation or specialization is a function that cells possess and is what allows them to have different types of cells and tissues.

Cell differentiation depends on genetic regulation, a mechanism that determines the specific genes that are expressed in a cell or tissue type.

All cells contain the same DNA, which is organized into chromosomes and contain the genes that determine specific characteristics. <u>There is cell differentiation because some genes can be expressed and others are suppressed, all due to genetic regulation</u>.

The other choices are wrong because:

  • <em>The eyes look different from the liver, because they have the same genes, but only some are expressed. </em>
  • <em>Differentiated cells and tissues do not lose their genes. </em>
  • <em>All cells have DNA.</em>
